Use the Reshape Area tool to pull the area of all selected paths within the outer circle of the Reshape Area pointer.
The inner circle is the boundary of the tool at full strength. The area between the inner and outer circle reshapes paths at less than full strength. The inner circle of the reshape area pointer determines the gravitational pull of the pointer. You can set its strength.
Note: The Reshape Area tool also responds to pressure from a Wacom or other compatible tablet.
To distort selected paths:
| 1 | Choose the Reshape Area tool. |
| 2 | Drag across the paths to redraw them. |
 |
To change the size of the reshape area pointer:
 |
To increase the size of the pointer, press Right Arrow or 2. |
|
To decrease the width of the pointer, press Left Arrow or 1. |
|
To set the size of the pointer and set the length of the path segment that it affects, enter a value from 1 to 500 in the Size text box of the Options panel. The value indicates the size of the pointer in pixels. |
To set the strength of the inner circle of the reshape area pointer:
Enter a value from 1 to 100 in the Strength text box of the Options panel. The value indicates the percentage of the pointer's potential strength. The higher the percentage, the greater the strength.
